Abstract:Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes in children. A small number of children with DKA can be complicated by cerebral edema, leading to acute brain dysfunction, which is the main cause of death in children with diabetes. Because of unclear pathogenesis and non-specific clinical manifestations, DKA complicated with brain edema is easy to be missed or misdiagnosed. The identification and management of risk factors of DKA complicated with brain edema and early identification of brain edema are of great importance for improving the prognosis. This article reviewed the literature about the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, risk factors, treatment and prevention of DKA complicated with brain edema, so as to provide reference for its early clinical identification and intervention.
